#JeSuisParis: Messi, Beckham, Ronaldo and World's Sports Stars Feature in Video Tribute (Watch)

Posted by Odinaka on Mon 30th Nov, 2015 - tori.ng

From David Beckham to Mo Farah and Rafael Nadal to Cristiano Ronaldo, an astonishing line up of sports stars have come together in solidarity for the Paris terror victims.

 
A total of 52 stars including Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andre Agassi, Maria Sharapova and Lionel Messi, all exclaiming 'Je Suis Paris,' all featured in a video tribute to Paris terrorist victims, and it was played on big screens before Ligue 1 side, PSG's match at the Parc de Princes stadium last night.
 
 
The match was preceded by many tributes to the victims of the attacks which killed 130 people in Paris, with a huge French flag on the pitch and another formed by cards distributed to spectators.
 
The club anthem, 'O Ville Lumiere' and the French national anthem were both played before a pre-match minute's silence, and PSG's players again bore the slogan 'Je Suis Paris' on their shirts.
 
 
The tribute also saw a huge French flag unfurled across the middle of the pitch, while fans behind had organised themselves in blocks of blue, white and red to match the symbol of the Republic.
 
 
It can be recalled that on November 13, a football game was the first of several targets in the city, with bombers detonating three devices as a friendly between the French and German national teams.
